| - I've spent some amount of time down south feasting like a ravenous coyote on the delicious Smoked BBQ, and also southern cooking. Coming back to Canada, I tried finding a decent smokehouse. There was the ever trusty delicious Mesquite but for a carless citizen like myself it's a bit out of the way, I have to be properly motivated to head down there. Recently more smokehouses have cropped up, to my smokehousy glee.
One of them is the underrated and under-advertized Bofinger Authentic American BBQ. Which I didn't know even existed until a few months ago. And they actually have more than one storefront. Why did no one tell me of this earlier?
And they make some seriously good grub to. They serve it smokehouse style where you walk up to the counter order the grub and go sit down in black leather booths while you listen to delta blues.
The ribs are outstanding, not the sloshy over-braised crap you'll find in Montreal (This excludes Bar B Barns which has its own style). These ribs are tender, tasty and taste like smoked ribs should and not mopped with tons sauce, just a slight touch of which there are plenty to chose from. I propose the Memphis sauce but that's up to you. The pulled pork sandwich is what pulled pork sandwiches are made of. The pork is freaking awesome, the slaw is crunchy and perfectly acidic and the bun, the holy good god what is this bun is perfectly balanced with the sandwich. Easily the best pulled pork I've had in Montreal.
Then there's the sides, as earlier, the slaw is perfect, the Mac n Cheese (obligatory in southern cooking, if you don't have Mac n Cheese, you do not offer southern cooking) is exactly how I'd love to make it. Though the savoriness of the ribs, pork and slaw, might make the mac feel underwhelming but it's not, it's perfect. The potato salad, another southern staple, misses the mark by including olives. I've never met a southern potato salad with olives before and I hate olives with a passion so they were a disappointment.
They also have other goodies I'll be eating very soon, the pulled pork poutine (DUH!), they also serve an "authentic cheesesteak sandwich" and having lived in Philly, it better be damn good but I'm looking forward to trying that also even though it's not a southern sandwich. They have a brisket sandwich as well, wonder if I can just get the meat as a side.
Where's the corn? Tasty BBQ is only improved with a corncob either boiled or grilled. Sadly they have no corncobs on their menu. Also where's the sweet tea served in a Mason jar? And my single true point of contention is that the hot food is only warm at best. One of the cool parts of eating a delicious pulled pork sandwich is the steaming hot pulled pork contrasted by a crunchy and cold slaw, which is a close your eyes and go to never-never-land good.
Though not a real southern BBQ pit smokehouse, it's a rock solid taste experience and deserves better recognition.
